Application of a microgrid with renewables for a water treatment plant

摘要: Abstract This research explores the techno-economic potential for a predominantly renewable electricity-based microgrid serving an industrial-sized drink water plant in Netherlands. Grid-connected and stand-alone scenarios were modeled, utilizing measured wind speed solar irradiation data, real time manufacturer data technology components, bottom-up approach to model flexible demand from response. The modeled results show that there is very high electricity at site, which can make this treatment plant’s consumption between 70% 96% self-sufficient with PV power production. production onsite meet 82% of without adding PV. However, also substantial provides more balanced supply times when insufficient. Due supplemental over different parts day, increases benefits gained response strategy. Therefore, solar–wind system combination recommended only system. A 100% would require extremely large battery storage, not currently cost effective. Ultimately, even low wholesale sell-back price consumers, grid-connection ability trade excess important cost-effectiveness
